𝓛etters came the next morning from their friends and Reyna didn't hesitate to read the first letter on the top from none other than Sirius Black.

Pursing her lips and turning her head to where Regulus slept, she opened the letter.

Dear sister of mine,

I hope this letter finds you well and that you, in fact, haven't been turned into a toad by my so lovely cousin of mine — How is she by the way? Does she still look like she's got dung up her nose? Anyway, I miss you.

Regulus and I haven't talked in a while. Despite our differences and the ways, I show my love for him, please tell him that it isn't too late to turn things around now. In the envelope.

Christmas is lovely Reyna. I got presents for the first time since I was ten. TEN YEARS OLD.

Euphemia Potter isn't like her mother, who is stone cold. Instead, this woman had a heart of gold. She took me in with open arms and provided unconditional love.

Life at the Potters is so much different than the Noble Ancient House of Black. It makes me think about how you deserve to have this type of life as well.

Andy and Andrea contacted me for the first time after I left the family. I'm still very thankful that you still keep in touch with me.

Your sister is doing well. She and Andy got pregnant at the same time, which is surprising but not all much of a shock because those two are literally two peas in a pod.

Both of them miss you very much.

Andy had a baby girl named Nymphadora Grace Tonks. She's two years old and a metamorphmagus. Clearly, she has gotten it from our side of the family.

Then there is Primrose Reyna Goodway. The girl doesn't show any signs of any lycanthropy.

Only she gets moody on full moons. I got to meet them...I wish you were here to hold them.

Andy and Andrea wish to thank you for helping them escape their families. Hopefully, Bellatrix won't find out the truth.

To Bellatrix, you and Narcissa are the apple to her eye.

Sirius Orion Black III
aka future brother in law dearest
and your only brother in law

"What are you reading?"

"Sirius...he's just writing to check up on me... he automatically assumes that I've been eaten by the snake's den...does he not understand that I am a snake as well?"

Regulus' face turned into sadness at the mention of his brother. No doubt, having the time of his life being free while he's stuck in a house playing puppet to his mother.

"He's alright by the way..Sirius is eating well."

"I'm not concerned about him," Regulus muttered spitefully breaking away eye contact with his girlfriend before the door knocked.

Bellatrix barged and sent them cold gazes with no speck of warmth towards them. "Aunt Walburga sent for me to fetch you two. Honestly, both of you get dressed. You're lucky you haven't found out yet."

Last night Reyna decided to stay up in Regulus's room after what happened last night on Christmas Eve. Where they encountered the Dark Lord and introduced ourselves to him. Now both of them have a target on their backs. Soon they'll be sucked into the darkness.

"Shove it, Trixie," Reyna bit back snappishly. The Blonde wasn't always in the best moods in the mornings.

Bellatrix rolled her eyes and kissed her cheek, "Good morning to you too lovely, freshen up quickly alright? My mother is always the one to go all out for Christmas. Jasper had to leave right after to go do something for the Dark Lord."

A shiver ran up Reyna's spine as the curly-haired woman left the room.

"She hasn't changed..." Regulus mused and opened his closet with a pink hue of embarrassment on his cheeks. "The bathroom is right over there, I can have Cissy bring you clothes."

"That will be nice..." Reyna mumbled awkwardly, she didn't know what else to say after Bellatrix and the night before.

Narcissa beamed at the two wearing casual robes for the morning. "I brought you some clothes. She told Lucius and I that both of you slept in the same room together and Lucius assumed the worst."

"Honestly! It's not like that." Regulus replied frustrated and annoyed. "She never keeps her fat mouth shut."

Reyna snickered, "Thanks for the clothes, Cissy. And please tell me my parents aren't here.'

"They're here. Penelope and Aunt Walburga are already talking about wedding plans." Narcissa's nose scrunched in disgust. "Both of you are fifteen! For Salzar's sake, these women are crazy."

The pleading expression on Narcissa's face made Reyna crack in defeat. "I'll be down right away."

When Reyna walked downstairs to the dining room area she found the Lestranges, Malfoys, and Blacks all sitting together.

"Ah, there she is." Silas sets down his cup of coffee and gestures to his daughter to sit beside him and Penelope.

"Did you have a good night sleep sweetheart?"

"Yes mother, I did." Reyna smiled fakely and sat down at the wooden chair. Across sat Narcissa, Lucius, Rodolphus, Rabastan, and Bellatrix while the Black's and De Martel's sat in her row.

Walburga glanced at the blonde, "We were just discussing you and Regulus. Your plans for when both of you leave Hogwarts."

Reyna resisted the urge to roll her eyes. What the ravenette meant was the plans made by what they made ( her parents and the Black's ). Regulus and Reyna had no say in what they wanted besides their career choices.

"When both of you leave, the wedding will happen right away," Penelope stated in a tone of excitement. Reyna looked like she wanted to throw up and on cue, Regulus came into the room.

"Morning,"

There were a few chorus of responses as Walburga stared intently at her son, "As I was saying, we should push the wedding earlier. Regulus will be joining the ranks after all."

Bellatrix grinned at Regulus like a proud older sister while Narcissa pursed her lips.

"I will do everything in my power to make this family on the top mother, father."

Orion nodded in approval, "Wise words, son." Walburga's eyes clouded in tears of pride. At least her second born wasn't swayed by her older brother's antics.

"What should we do about your eldest son?" Rabastan twirled his wand and smirked at Regulus and Reyna, knowing how close they were to the oldest Black brother.

"He's no longer our concern. That disgraceful bastard is no son of mine" Orion bellowed, standing up.

Silas placed a hand on Reyna's shoulder to refrain the girl from lashing out at the man for insulting Sirius. Once upon a time, Silas used to look at Sirius in a different light and hopefully wanted the eldest Black to marry Reyna. It's not that he didn't approve of Regulus.

The path he's choosing to take is bringing his daughter along with him. And Silas couldn't lose another daughter. Silas may have been stone-cold, but his daughters kept him breathing and living another day to the fullest.

"So it's settled then."

Silas's eyes darted from the table where Orion placed his hand out to his old friend.

But who can protect his daughter better than he can?

"Yes, the wedding will happen soon after they graduate." Silas agreed, shaking his friend's hand.
